EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Joseph Strutt, titled "Saxon noble in Phrygian cap and others in mantles, 8th century" offers a glimpse into the fashion and attire of early medieval England. The image showcases a Saxon noble adorned in an elegant purple mantle and donning a distinctive Phrygian cap. This headpiece was often associated with liberty and revolution, adding an intriguing political undertone to the ensemble. Surrounding the noble are other figures dressed in various mantles, each representing different social statuses or age groups. From the youth sporting a short mantle to the method of wearing cloaks while walking depicted from ancient manuscripts, this engraving provides valuable insights into how clothing was worn during this period. Handcolored with meticulous attention to detail, Strutt's work captures not only the intricate designs but also highlights the vibrant colors that would have been present at that time. The print is part of Strutt's comprehensive collection titled "Complete View of the Dress and Habits of the People of England" which aimed to document historical costumes throughout British history. This enchanting piece serves as both an artistic representation and historical record, transporting viewers back to 8th-century England. It reminds us of our rich cultural heritage while offering glimpses into centuries-old traditions that continue to shape our understanding of British culture today.
